Regarding vaccination, my lo hasn't received IPV yet as it isn't available here. Will there be a problem? He has got the OPV doses.

hii preeti.. The inactivated poliovirus vaccine (IPV) is usually given at ages 2 months, 4 months, 6–18 months, and 4–6 years. Though the oral poliovirus vaccine (OPV) is still used in many parts of the world. But better you consult your pedeac about it.

Thanks for the information. He is the one who told that it isn't available but didn't give detailed information regarding this. That's why I thought of asking here.

hi preeti, IPV and OPV is the same type of vaccine.. IPV is injection and OPV is oral. my son had first IPV vaccine.. as we r styng outiside india, aftr first IPV we gave OPV only as outside india it is not available.. so if ur baby had OPV thn its ok.. no need to give IPV as per my doctor... u can ask ur doc as well..
